Warnings: None

[upon waking]
Gyousou didn't panic. It wasn't a reaction in his repertoire, no matter how bizarre or foreign a situation he found himself in. He was unsettled, obviously, but that didn't stop him getting out of bed once his body would obey him, and moving automatically to the chest marked as his. The note he took with him, giving it a cursory glance - ransom, demands? No. Nothing he could use - and left it at the end of his bed as he examined the items he had been allocated. There was absolutely no point in waiting around. He'd had enough time to think as he'd lain frozen.

Clothing first. The robes he dismissed, too heavy and ornate for him to dress himself without aid. His old uniform, that of a Tai general, was more suitable. As much as he would prefer to wear the imperial regalia, as much a type of armour as any metal plate, it wasn't a practical choice at this point. He began to dress, not bothering to remove the white clothing in which he'd awoken. The habits of someone from a frozen climate, gratitude for an extra layer. The collar, he reserved judgement on. Obviously a form of control, of restraint, and if he had needed to contain himself, he would have done something similar. No surprises there. After a moment's pause, he belted his sword on.

The necessities dealt with, he took stock of the room before glancing out into the corridor beyond.

[after reuniting with Taiki]
[ Having solved the most pressing issue - of his immediate health and that of the Tai Taiho - Gyousou roams the halls and rooms in an order based entirely on Kouri's whim. ]

"Even if you were, would there be any point in fighting?" He turned to face the newcomer - the owner of another of the beds, he guessed - whilst being mindful to keep his stance nonthreatening. "I mean no offence, but one man could not have brought me here."

[fusedstars]

"There would not be."

Least this man had not been in rage like some others here. Maybe it was just his luck that he was meeting all those that had a sound mind, but this man was already far better than the previous being that inhabited this room.

"And you're right on that as well."

[eyeslikeblood]

"Then I am glad I did not attack," Gyousou's eyes narrowed, taking the measure of the man in front of him. It was surprisingly difficult to do so; there was undeniable strength, but its markers were foreign to him. No overt malice, or at least none directed at him. He smiled, thinly. "Very well, I am Saku Gyousou. Would you honour me with an introduction?"

[fusedstars]

"I'm Hei, and there are two others, though there names are unknown unless you ask them," he speaks. "Do you have any memories before being abducted?"

[eyeslikeblood]

He paused. "Of the abduction itself... I have none."

[fusedstars]

Figures, and not unexpected in the slightest.

"Then do you have any questions regarding this tower?"

[eyeslikeblood]

"Is that where we are?" He looked once more around the room, eyebrows raised. He lingered over the lights - fueled by some unknown power. Electricity, he guessed, which would mean... "A tower in another world."

And back to Hei. "You are Japanese?"

[fusedstars]

"Chinese."

And yet he spent so much time in Japan. Strange, but it didn't bother him.

Ah, the country on the other side of the endless sea. Living on the eastern edge of the twelve kingdoms, Gyousou had never met someone from there.

"I have heard of it. I am told your written language is much like ours, but I know little else."

[fusedstars]

"Considering what time period you are from, you do not need to know much, as things have most likely have changed."

Least it was an assumption on his part.
